The palace

A right royal drama

Published: Monday, 24 December 2007, 10:56AM

Meet the most famous family on Earth. After the sudden death of his father Prince Richard has become King at the age of 24. Dearly loved by the nation King James III left behind his devoted wife and family.

King Richard IV now reigns. He is young, handsome, free-spirited with modern ideas about the monarchy. Unready for office he desperately wants to succeed but the Press cannot get enough of his youthful indiscretions and his family is at war.

The knives have been sharpened and they are waiting for blood.

We also see below stairs and behind closed doors as staff  jostle for power, compete for affection, lie and cheat.   

The Palace lifts the curtain on a fictional world. It's a world we love so much but know so little about.
